It will be difficult to change it without getting suspend. Perhaps you can told the owner to change it for you first before you get the account

Does it come with the original PayPal account?

If not I would steer clear

[trottersonline]

Your not going to be able to add that business PayPal to a totally different eBay account.

It will raise flags on both the PP and the EB

I see this all the time, Ebay account is up for sale but not the Paypal. Changing details on any account is extremely risky and no matter how old the account is, it's not going to last too long.

You can try and add your own Paypal with the same info as the Ebay account but there's also no guarantee of anything either, so how ever you do this....this awesome 10yr old account has potential to have problems.

You could use another Payment processor but sales may or may not be good.

If you buy a ebay account without a paypal account.
You could run into all sorts of problems.
How do you know he is not selling the ebay account because his paypal go limited and he cannot use the ebay account anymore?

If you change details like password, email etc.. on a ebay account DO NOT do it all at once or you will get flagged.

i placed an ad on gumtree lol , he replied . the account was being used upto a month ago , ive spoken to him seems ok , its just knowing a safe way to change details lol what a mine field

thanks for the help

Yer, this just seems like a recipe for disaster.

If you want to buy an account, buy one from the forum approved sellers

What you are trying to do will likely end up with you spending a lot of money on a eBay account and having nothing to show for it after it gets closed down

hi

yes you may be right lol, cheap at 500 pounds for the age i thought

thanks for the help

Personally I would walk away but in the long run it's your money and your decision.

[trottersonline]

thanks for the advice , could you recommend a seller

Save your £500.

No one would sell a 10 year old account for that much.

With a PayPal account too you'd be looking at closer to 15 times that amount.

For some reason the sellers here have stopped advertising the higher value accounts but no reason you couldn't contact the UK sellers (only the ones who have active selling threads listed) with your requirements and see what they have.

Lol I even have old acc from 1999
